The last post was about Diamond and Silk being back on Facebook, alluded to as the 'bathroom wall'. But we were wrong. We took Zuckerberg at his word that things would be fixed, but they were not. And it seems that other black people on Facebook are messed around if they support Trump, Robbi Robinson, for instance, I've seen it with my own eyes. I have no doubt Facebook is being controlled, and when it is in secret, and wastes the time of the people who honestly believe they can post what they want to say within legal limits, there are grounds for law suits.
Here in NYC a black man in a Trump hat was questioned by police, for, well, being a black man in a Trump hat. Turns out someone had reported a black man in Trump hat making an assault at Union Square Station, so the cops are on the lookout. But the man they questioned had an alibi. There are more than one black men in this city wearing Trump hats. And maybe one did commit an assault, maybe this was fake news, so far no leads. How hard is it to catch a black man in Trump hat? My point is, did this really happen at all, or in the way it was reported? And if the assailant was wearing a Trump hat, was he a Trump supporter?
We unequivocally decry any assault, so whoever did this is wrong. But I will continue to wear my Trump hat, no problem with the police if they question me.
